Hi, |

I sent a pull request to upstream earlier this year to fix a PAM related |
| 4 |
issue (see also: Gentoo bug #774729), but the repo has since been |
| 5 |
archived [1]. Looking at the commit history, I see that there's only |
| 6 |
been a single upstream commit since the beginning of 2020. |

What is the proper procedure, if there is one, to reclaim a package with |
| 9 |
a dead upstream? I use physlock on all my machines and have recommended |
| 10 |
it to my friends as a solid screen locker and would very much like to |
| 11 |
help keep it alive. |

I would be willing to maintain a fork [2] as well as help maintain the |
| 14 |
Gentoo package itself. I've already got a little bit of experience in |
| 15 |
working with Portage by creating packages into my overlay [3]. |

I've CC'ed the current proxy maintainer for app-misc/physlock as well as |
| 22 |
the main upstream developer in case they have any input. |
